Customer Reviews of gDiapers Little gPants 2-Pack Orange & Vanilla, SmallCustomer Review: one of the greenest options Summary: 4 Stars
Our baby is 23 days old and now that his umbilical cord is off, we're trying the GDiapers. Previously, we were using Earth's Best organic disposables. With a newborn going through many, many diaper changes per day, I have already had several opportunities today alone with the GDiaper. I had purchased the Starter Kit, which comes with two little G pants, 3 reusable liners, plenty of flushable inserts, and a swish stick.
First, the GDiaper is one of the greenest options. When the flushable insert is flushed, it returns to the earth and can be used for compost. But even so, it can also be disposed of and it still decomposes much faster than a disposable diaper made of plastic.
It is as easy - if not easier - to put on the GDiaper as a disposable. The velcro sides are adjustable. My baby is currently between 8 and 9 pounds, and he is on the smallest setting of the Small. You have to be sure that the interior lining is snug to their thigh crease, much as you would ensure that the disposable's ruffles are facing out. You do not want to fasten it too tightly - it's not necessary. One great thing about the GDiaper - so far, it has not fallen off as so many of the disposables have! The outer cover is soft, and GDiapers make many fashionable covers, that could serve as alternate bottoms with a t-shirt.
It is not as convenient, however, for disposal. When changing, be sure to have another pair of Gpants locked and loaded. You know how it can be with little boys - you need to be prepared right away! I would suggest buying more than one starter set - I will be buying more G-Pants! Now that you've changed your baby, if you want to flush, you will have to leave your baby on the changing table or some other safe spot.
I want to give a complete description of the flushing disposal method because it is an important factor for buyers, not to dissuade anyone, but you should know what it entails. You remove the flushable insert from the diaper. Now you take it to the toilet. Rip open the side, dumping out the interior. Then, take the swish stick and break up the material in the toilet. Now, you can dispose of the outer liner. All can be flushed in a modern sewage system. If you do not separate the inner core from the outer liner, however, you will get a clog. Yes, touching the wet or soiled insert can be a dirty process and you may get your hands dirtier than you did with a disposable. This process also takes more time. For this reason, we will not be using GDiapers at nighttime (and we currently change diapers 3x per night - we prefer not to let our baby sit in a soiled diaper). We will be sticking with Earth's Best TenderCare Chlorine Free Diapers, Size 1, 8-14 Lbs. (Case of 176) for night time changings.
Now, we've gone through only one G-Pant so far, so leakage has been minimal. But in one day, we've already gone through 2 of the 3 liners - and he is wearing the third. The liners must be washed and hung to dry. So you will need more of those as well.

- Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that's healthier for baby's skin
- Starter Kit that contains everything you need to begin using gDiapers
|  | |  | Flushable, Decomposable Diapers The gDiaper consists of a machine-washable, reusable cotton "little g pant" and a snap-in, reusable waterproof liner, which contains the diaper refill. These refills are decomposable. Containing no plastic products, they're made from sustainably farmed wood fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate (SAP), which provides absorbency, and cellulose rayon. And they can be flushed down the toilet, which has a couple of wonderful benefits. First, it eliminates the need to keep smelly diapers around in a diaper pail. Second, it keeps unnecessary waste out of the landfills. And finally, the entire contents of the diaper gets processed by sewage treatment plants, which return treated, completely sanitized solids to be converted into valuable fertilizer. It's recycling at its best! If you're unable to flush the liners, they can still be thrown in the trash without guilt, since they will decompose in 50 to 150 days -- a much better turnaround than their plastic counterparts. And, if you're a gardener, you can simply throw the wet liners in your compost bin. (Note: for sanitary reasons, never put poopy diapers in the compost.) As Easy As Traditional Disposables -- but Healthier The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette, and it's available in several cool colors. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, the little g pant is just as easy to put on a baby as traditional disposable diapers -- no pins to deal with here. Plus, its breathable qualities help keep baby's skin healthier by minimizing diaper rash. Get Started! Everything you need to get started is included in the handy Starter Kit: two little g pants in trendy "Great Orange" and "Vanilla Bean" colors, suitable for boys or girls, each with two snap-in liners; 10 flushable diaper refills; a "swishstick" to aid with flushing; and a Handy User's Guide (H.U.G). The "Small" Starter Kit is for babies 8 to 14 pounds in weight; larger sizes are available for bigger children, so you can start with gDiapers in any stage of your child's pre-potty-training life.  | Starter kits come in three sizes: |  |  |  | Tips for Successful gDiaper Use Some plumbing systems may have problems with the flushable liners, including systems with tree-infested pipes; non-standard plumbing systems, including grinders or house traps; and septic tanks, which require close monitoring to make sure the outflow is clear. It is recommended that only poopy diapers be put into septic systems, and wet ones be composted. But even if your plumbing system won't accept the gDiaper flushables, you can always simply throw them in the trash where they'll quickly decompose, making it an alternative to traditional disposable diapers. | Stock up on flushable diaper refills: |  | What's in the Box Two pairs of small-sized 'little g' pants (Great Orange and Genuine Vanilla Bean), 10 flushable diaper refills, swishstick, and Handy User's Guide (H.U.G.). |
